Yellow Park Tech Watch Podcast

A small timeout while I fix levels

yellowpark — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 22:34:06 +0000

You have probably noticed that my recent podcasts have had up and down levels. The main reason for this - excuse coming on - is that originally I was recording using my headset through my softphone on my laptop. This broke and haven’t managed to replace it. Until today!

So bear with me while I run some tests with this and we should be back on with tip top sound quality shortly.
